I am looking for the same answer. I found Castrol Synthetic Oil meets the Volkswagen Passat requirements per the Passat manual. I found it at an Advance Auto Parts store. I havn't checked the drain plug location or type, or the filter location.
The oil filter can be found on the back, lower side of the engine. The oil filter will be adjacent to the oil pan.
